Our database includes 257+ SNPs with real, accurate clinical data:
- Longevity — TERT, TERC, FOXO3, APOE, CETP, IL6, SOD2
- Health — 9p21 (CAD), TCF7L2 (T2D), Factor V Leiden, BRCA, HLA-DQ2
- Pharmacogenomics — CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP1A2, VKORC1, SLCO1B1, DPYD
- Nutrigenomics — MTHFR, MCM6 (lactose), ALDH2, FTO, VDR, HFE
- Traits — HERC2 (eye color), MC1R (red hair), ACTN3 (muscle), TAS2R38 (taste)

Every entry includes risk/normal alleles, population frequencies, conditions, recommendations, and PubMed references.
# Add more curated SNPs
node scripts/expand-snp-db.jsContributions welcome! Some areas where help is needed:
- More SNPs — Add clinically validated SNPs with real data
- Polygenic scores — Bundle pre-downloaded PGS Catalog scoring files
- Localization — Translate reports and UI
- Accessibility — Screen reader support, keyboard navigation
- Testing — Unit tests for parsers and risk assessment
